RESEARCHED WHICH INFORMED IDEAS – WES ANDERSON

Where’s Anderson creates films that truly are a cinematic experience I’m always found looking in awe at the sets, backgrounds, the colour pallets and the costumes that people are wearing and how they all work perfectly to create a beautiful scene. Some people have argued that as Anderson’s films are purely a viewing experience however I do feel it adds to the plot of these films I feel how every film is so interesting in the way it creates an ambience with the sets.

A variety of shades of pinks, oranges, whites, greys and browns as well as other mid tones are commonly used within his work; these are slightly muted but still highly saturated and nothing looks bleak, boring or bland which relates back to our themes because looking into concepts like being transported into another world or using dollhouses are very elaborate and dynamic and therefore our set should reflect that too with its designs and props.

Due to the colour palette and the calm way of filming scenes where they are quite slow and empty gives me a relaxed vibe for watching the film which is so effective with the telling of the stories making you think in a different way about something as it allows you time while the film is quiet to wonder. Although this works so well for Wes Anderson I feel like whatever outcome we come out with that should be slightly more telling of the characters or the models of the garment as this is where the true personality comes alive.
